Common Misconceptions
"I bought the animations, so I own them."
You own a license to use them. Motus Digital retains all IP rights to the animation data.
"AI retargeting isn't really 'AI usage.'"
Any use of AI technology with our animation data — including retargeting, synthesis, or training — requires an AI Permit.
"I bought these on the Unreal/Unity store, so I can use them however I want."
Third-party store purchases are subject to both the platform's terms AND MoCap Online's license. Commercial Licenses are only available through mocaponline.com.
"My project is free, so I don't need a commercial license."
If your project has over 1M end users, you need a Commercial License regardless of whether it's free or paid.
